Описание: The final part of this trilogy which began with RUSSIA UNDER THE OLD REGIME and continued with THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. The volume deals with the attempts of the Bolsheviks to defend and expand their authority and build a Communist state.

Описание: Analyzes the evolution of the Russian state from the 9th century to the 1880s. It describes the "patrimonial" state, and analyzes the failure of the peasantry, nobility, middle-class and clergy to stand up to the increasing absolutism of the tsar.

Описание: This is the second of two volumes covering the origins and progress of the Bolshevik Revolution. They provide a complete account of the Russian Revolution, which made a large impact on the 20th century, subjecting a large part of the Earth's population to the Communist experiment. The broad sweep of Richard Pipe's history embraces not only the political and military events, but the full conspectus of: social, industrial and agricultural change; the policing of thought, art, literature and religion; the elaboration of political philosophy; and the drive to export Communism to the West and to the Third World. The reasons for the failure of the Communist experiment become apparent in this history. The first volume, "The Russian Revolution, 1899-1919", focuses on the decay of Tsarist rule and the events leading up to the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917. This title examines the Bolshevik's fight to secure their control. By the time of Lenin's death in 1924, all the institutions of future Stalinism were in place.

Описание: Covers all aspects of the printing process from pre-production to the finished product, discussing equipment, illustration, layout, proofing, paper, inks, printing methods, finishing, and the use of computers.

Описание: Pipes argues that the Russian revolution changed the course of modern history, but many aspects of the revolution have remained mysterious for the last 70 years. The collapse of Communism meant that the archival depositories have been opened to interested parties, allowing Pipes to investigate these mysteries.
